there. Frank Clark wrote to
Mrs. Usher the other day that the
little boy who lived with Dr.
Read had left the Dr. & the
Dr. was willing that he should
come & live with Mrs. Usher
I think that you had
better call on Mr. Clark
to whom I I have written
to day and if every thing is
right bring the boy along with
you if you are coming out
soon.
Let me hear what your purposes
are
Truly Yours,
J.P. Usher
